Moose

No one ever has let a word of hatred pass his lips when it comes to Moose. With a heart of pure gold Moose is a gift from gods. Always caring, trying to help in every occasion. But still, he had a dream deep in his heart hidden for everybody but himself. And even for himself he managed to wrap up this dream so tightly that he could hardly recognize it.
Until one day when he was roaming around in the forest where every tree and every stone were familiar friends since childhood.
The green Messenger showed himself for him on the top of a steep cliff. Her golden wings and the white feather made Moose sure of whom he was watching. He had heard stories, yes, but he always thought it was just cheap rumours. Nothing to pay attention to. Until this day that should change his life totally.
Standing there below the cliff, unable to move or speak, a thought started to repeat itself over and over again. “Green Messenger” the thought said, “Green Messenger – please teach me the art of flying.” He recognized the dream of his heart, and he thought “I will give anything for this dream.”
He did not know if it was a matter of seconds or hours, but noticing that the shadows had turned he understood that soon the sun would sink into the dark lake.
Everything has its Prize! All of us have experienced this, even if it takes time to realize the connections.
Moose went down to the lake to let his tears create little circles on the black surface. After all it was kind of comforting him, feeling sad for his destiny.
Do I need to tell what happened after this incredible day? As you see from the pictures he paid a prize. Where his huge antler had proudly towered, a pair of white wings were reflected from the water. Moose was confused but happy. And most important, he was ready to search for his own fortune. Touching, yes, I agree with you – but this is only where the story starts!
